Release Critical Bugs

Release Goals

Release goals are areas of functionality which developers would like to see as an aim for the next release. They will not hold up the release, but allows the bugs opened for that goal to be raised in severity to 'important'.

The Release Team will help track the status of these (include them in the Release Team status emails etc.). The Release Team will also be more inclined to allow freeze-exceptions for release goal related issues early in freezes.

Please note: a release goal should be:

SMART (Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely)

Affect more than just one set of packages (eg: not just a package transition)

Have an 'advocate', who can track and keep status of progress.

Be generally consensual
